Hi,

FYI, a Debian user reported the problem described in the attachment.

See also http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=276037


Could you please support the extended array/tabular syntax provided by
the 'array' package? Example:

        \usepackage{array}
        ...
        \begin{tabular}{>{\sl}cl}
        123&foo\\
        456&bar\\
        \end{tabular}

is not supported right now, the whole columns spec gets ignored
by latex2html, including even the 'cl'. To have the above typeset
properly in both the LaTeX and the HTML one has to manually apply
the formatting to the corresponding column contents:


This extended syntax *is* supported by LaTeX2HTML,
when generating HTML for version 3.2 or 4.0.

The translation of the given example in these cases should be as follows.

      ---------------------------------------

HTML 3.2 :
see:  http://www-texdev.ics.mq.edu.au/DebianBugs/arraytest-v32/

<TABLE CELLPADDING=3>
<TR><TD ALIGN="CENTER"><I>123</I></TD>
<TD ALIGN="LEFT">foo</TD>
</TR>
<TR><TD ALIGN="CENTER"><I>456</I></TD>
<TD ALIGN="LEFT">bar</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>

      ---------------------------------------

HTML 4.0
see:  http://www-texdev.ics.mq.edu.au/DebianBugs/arraytest-v40/

<TABLE CELLPADDING=3>
<TR><TD ALIGN="CENTER"><I CLASS="slanted">123</I></TD>
<TD ALIGN="LEFT">foo</TD>
</TR>
<TR><TD ALIGN="CENTER"><I CLASS="slanted">456</I></TD>
<TD ALIGN="LEFT">bar</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>



The relevant Perl modules for this part of the translation process
are
   $LATEX2HTMLDIR/versions/html3_2.pl
   $LATEX2HTMLDIR/versions/html4_0.pl

The versions of these modules available at  www.latex2html.org
agree with those used to produce the above examples:


landau.ics.mq.edu.au> cvs status html4_0.pl =================================================================== File: html4_0.pl Status: Up-to-date

Working revision: 1.41

landau.ics.mq.edu.au> cvs status html3_2.pl
===================================================================

So I do not understand the basis for this bug-report.

Perhaps the author was either:

  a. generating code for out-dated versions of HTML
      (e.g.  3.0, 3.1, or 2.x  or 1.x
    --- though then LaTeX2HTML might have created an image)
or
  b. doing something significantly more complicated than
      in the stated example.
or
  c. it is the Debian distribution that is not sufficiently
      up-to-date.


Thanks for considering.


Have done so.



Best regards,

        Ross



bye, Roland
